    So, I love your travel videos, but I gotta say … I really really adore your adventure videos (e.g., CO trail, Boundary Waters and Ragbrai), because you take viewers on an experience that many of us will never have. It’s just so neat to live it through you. So, thank you for pedaling and rowing your butts off, so we can come along for the ride!

    You guys are awesome and your energy and spirit is contagious! I started watching y’all in December after I had just gotten out of the hospital from having a defibrillator/pacemaker put in and I was feeling sorry for myself. I have had a genetic heart condition that I was diagnosed with in 2013 at the age of 39 and it was not improving as much as they had hoped. I was very very overweight (495) and they had hoped that with my weight loss (150 and counting) that it would improve but it wasn’t. I had hit a plateau and it was not moving. On Thanksgiving of 2021 I started passing out when I did any physical activity that got my heart rate up and since I had recently moved to AZ and was hiking by myself On the weekends I decided that I better get it checked out. 7 days later I was heading home with a newly implanted device and feeling pretty depressed. I pretty much thought that my life at 47 was done. I started watching you all after I saw your videos popping up on RUclipsrs like A+K, Jen&Will, and a few others I love to watch. After watching you and Nate push yourselves out of you comfort zones so much on the physical activities you inspired me! Some of the stuff you have done I will probably never be able to do but this one, biking across Iowa….I am 95% sure I can do this! I was so inspired and hopeful after watching this video I reached out to my best friends and said “Hey, get a bike this is what we are doing next year…..!” Love, Love you guys!! I am definitely a big fan now and will watch you do anything you decide to do in travel. Especially if you add your family and Rick and his, y’all together make me happy and laugh and you gave me the kick that I needed to quit feeling sorry for myself! ❤️ ❤️

Each person is riding the same RAGBRAI but having a different experience. One hint we have learned over the years, find the public pool in each town. After a day of biking their is nothing like sitting in a cool body of water and it counts as a shower! Hope to see you next year!
